Restaurants and Cafes in France

Eating is one of the great adventures in France; going out to a cafe or
restaurant for a meal or buying the ingredients to cook for yourselves. If
you are Slow Travelers and staying in a vacation rental, you may cook some
of your meals in your "home", but you will still want to experience the restaurants
and cafes.

"We ate dinner at Madame Lecomte's restaurant on the far side of the
island. It was crowded with Americans and we had to wait for a place. Some
one had put it in the American Women's Club list as a quaint restaurant
on the Paris quais as yet untouched by Americans, so we had to wait forty-five
minutes for a table. Bill had eaten at the restaurant in 1918, and right
after the armistice, and Madame Lecomte made a great fuss over seeing him.
"Doesn't get us a table, though," Bill said. "Grand woman, though." "
